i'm 35 days in on my first grow. I got 3 critical+ auto's by dinafem under a 100w cfl and 1 30w cfl for extra light under leaves. I've started on a little blooming feed and are growing 20 on 4 off. I'm askin, for any helpfull advise as i've had no real help from other places. Sorry. I can't work out how to get any pics up yet. Anyway, there looking really healthy and are flowering nicely. Thanks in advance and i'll try and get those pics up soon. Bigchips.

Hey Bigchips,
Beautiful pics of the Critical + Auto. How old are they and why did you select Auto if you are growing inside?
I am especially interested in how you make out with this grow because I am days away from harvesting a Critical+ that was a freebie from The Attitude seedbank. Haven't figured out how to put pics on here yet as I am a newbie to this forum but have been growing indoors for a few years now.
Have been surprised at the growth habits of my C+ plant which was started inside, vegged outside for about 4 weeks and then sprayed with Sevin before I brought it in to do 12/12. Once it got on 12/12 the internode length became extraordinary which I thought would be good for preventing bud mold. Yet it started developing bud mold early but stopped when i cut out the mold and started up the dehumidifyer. I think the H was only 70% when it started.
Anyway, it is beautiful now and, as advertised, will be ready after less than 7 weeks of flowering. Though it is about 3.5' tall it will still be a light producer because of the internode length and there is no big cola. I did pinch it back at about 4 weeks and don't know if that was the right thing for this variety.
Just realized this discussion should probably not be in the "introduce yourself" category.

hi. Those pics are at day 35, i chose auto's cos of time and money and size. This is my first grow and i'm learning lots in a short time. Today i started 3 roadrunner 2 also by dinafem which i think i might start a journal. I'm planning to have a crop about every 4 weeks to keep a constant supply and these cfl's are great for a compact grow. Sure, i'm not going to get massive yield's but it's all for me

hey again Bigchips,
I'm a newbie here too and am going to try and insert a couple of pictures of my C+ next to a blue hash plant. They are both about 3.5' tall but you can see how the C+ got lanky compared to the BH. Remains to be seen about the quality but will post you on that. I have never had critical before.
You said you planted C+ Auto because of size - does that mean auto is generally smaller?
OK, here are pics. The titles tell you the age of the plant and weeks of flowering. Dinafem says C+ is 45-50 days and BH 50-55 days. C+ will surely be ready by week 07 flower. BH is on the left in both pics:
